Thanks for watching the replay. Yes, you’ve got sprayed edges right. It’s where the edges of the pages line up and have art on them. Makes me think of the old church hymnals with the red or gold sprayed edges. But BookVault will do full pictures. It’s pretty wild!

@@DaleLRoberts I've been trolling websites and etsy looking at various sprayed edges and painted edges for the last 20 minutes. I'm thinking it's time to take some defenseless book in my collection and give it a new binding. 🤔 Meanwhile the weekend will be spent giving several different AI the same prompts for book outlines and likely 2 or 3 books. I want to see how similar and different they are. Have a great weekend.

Thanks. Region = US, UK, Australia, Canada, etc.

Thanks! If you need to take it at a slower pace, I left a link to the full guide in the description. I had a LOT of complaints that I moved too fast, so I put that there for folks who needed it slower. Glad you liked the fast pace. I'll be doing a longer form version of this in the next couple months.

Oh, sweet! Well, their migration to Draft2Digital is imminent. So, if you're going to tap into it, do it now. Or, just go straight to Draft2Digital and set it up there. End of an era. Smashwords was the second ever platform I published my books on beyond Amazon KDP. Feeling nostalgic. haha

@@DaleLRoberts Also I'm interested in Lulu Which one do you think is better?

@@DaleLRoberts I'll look it up! Thanks!

Ooo, that's a tough call. If we're comparing Smashwords with Lulu, I'll lean towards Lulu for print books since Smashwords only handles ebooks. For ebooks thought? Smashwords, all the way. Just my preference.

@@DaleLRoberts Thanks 🙏

Yep, we just have to do our best to spot and report them before they do any damage.

Sure! You’re in luck, I just did so long form videos discussing the best places to publish based on royalty for: Ebooks - 10 Best Places to Publish eBooks (2024) ua-cam.com/video/bb6235uI4VY/v-deo.html Print book - 10 Best Sites to Publish Print Books ua-cam.com/video/WDDb6siOWEk/v-deo.html

Ooo, you’re gonna need to contact support on that. I haven’t heard about this issue at all.

Ooo, that’s brilliant what you do. Shows the person’s attention to detail. And you’re right about the detection software. I’m sure it’ll improve in due time.

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

Honesty is the best policy.

I typically give it a week to two weeks. Amazon recommends two weeks before making any changes since the cookie window is fourteen days.

Absolutely! So there's a few videos you can check out. If you want details about Amazon KDP specifically: ua-cam.com/video/YQCOjWMygMk/v-deo.html Here's a video discussing the best ebook royalties based on various platforms: ua-cam.com/video/bb6235uI4VY/v-deo.html Here's a video covering the best print book royalties based on various platforms: ua-cam.com/video/WDDb6siOWEk/v-deo.html

@@DaleLRoberts thankyou so much 😇👍👍👍

No, they’ll do that for you. Just put in the title like normal, Amazon will handle the rest.

@@DaleLRoberts Thank you Dale.

Pretty much! Just a small update since this video. The Shopify extension is no longer called Lulu xPress, it's now Lulu Direct. It also integrates with Woocommerce.

@@DaleLRoberts oooo what's Woocomers. (Might have spelled it wrong) I use WordPress.

WooCommerce is a free plug-in for WordPress, so it'll probably be perfect for you.

@@DaleLRoberts thank you 😁

@@DaleLRoberts oh, in doing research I found I first have to sign up for a Amazon Associate Account, to sell on sophify. Is that right or is that for something else.

Press "Q" to switch to the alignment tool. Then, drag and drop your front cover onto the canvas. Make sure it's the top layer in your right side panel in the layers. Then, click on that. In the right side panel, you'll find a tab that will allow you to center it from top to bottom and right align it.

@@DaleLRoberts the layers are difficult to handle, can you help me out to do the book cover, I pay you afew bucks, Thanks

Sadly, I'm too tied up. Feel free to drop into my Discord community and maybe the community can assist. Link is in the video description.

Look into Blurb, Lulu, or BookVault.

@@DaleLRoberts thank you

That's a tough area to break into because if I accuse a company of wrongdoing, it opens me up to litigation. Writer Beware does a great job exposing some companies. I highly recommend reading through their site.

The product pages for print books stay up indefinitely, even after delisting. It’s for third party sellers who want to sell used copies of your book.

Thanks.
